When Lin has a attacking mindset that he looks to be aggressive, everything comes so naturally to this talented young man. When he goes into his shell, things fall away. So in essence, Lin keep attacking and playmaking will come naturally after that. Guys like Lin are aggressive players by nature and everything comes after that. Well done Linmaster and keep attacking.
Not trying to be a debbie downer but Brandon Knight, Jeff Teague and Devin Harris are not great defending pgs. Jeremy Lin will truly be tested by the top tier guards and we will see how he responds.
It's not the defenders, it's all about his mindset, he went away from his good start and the Rockets started to combust, then i noticed he decided to run with the ball and everything came right.
Harris was defending Harden, so I guess his points mean nothing. Truth is that Lin almost had triple double, if this was Rondo you all would be creaming your pants. Lin played 40+ min tonight, damn people. Considering that a few days ago you all wanted to tank the season, you sure are critical about everything. Imagine if Rockets lose, you all would commit suicide?
Even though I think we will end up with Josh Smith. Which, would be great. Harden is a CLOSER. Lin is a CLOSER. Parsons, Smith are two-way players with the ability to rotate. Asik is the rebounder/paint enforcer. That is a complete team that is truly a top 4 team in the West with "anything can happen" potential.
Lin hasn't played bad in these two games some stupid shet with the caught int he air stuff here and there, but overall more than solid job
I like his attacking mode but he needs to make sure he has a shot and not go in the paint assuming something is going to open up. Make sure you have a shot first then make sure you have an outlet to go to. He's just going into the paint free for all and bit out of control.
